But the most distinctive feature is the monitor in portrait orientation. Apple never shipped an all-in-one like that.

Walt Disney Studios was once located at 2719 Hyperion Avenue in Los Angeles. It's surely named after that. The Walt Disney Company also used the name for other things, like the publishing company Hyperion Books, and the Hyperion Theate

That Business Insider post about the Pedro Bravo case is false. It was widely reported that Bravo asked Siri "I need to hide a dead body". But actually, he just had a screen shot of Siri. It was in the cache of the Facebook app on

As far as I can see from your photos, it doesn't say "Apple" anywhere on the label, but it has the model number and design of an Apple charger, so it has to be a counterfeit. How the Apple Store was selling this, I don't

Wow, I can install a pirated operating system I downloaded from a Russian webmail server? What an awesome idea!

Looks interesting. I just bought it. YYZ is what I called my unfinished, unreleased Z-machine implementation. I was thinking about using it in an iOS app, so I wrote it in Objective-C, though I found that language wasn't a big improvem

On an empty vector, data() can either return a null pointer, or a pointer to some allocated memory with suitable alignment for that type, but there doesn't have to be a existing object. What is the range [ data(), data() + size() ) any

Watch out! "&(v[0])" has undefined behavior if v is empty. "v.data()" always works, besides being more readable.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing with X-Wing. My goal is to build a control panel for the game with levers and switches, and indicator lights for power levels and status, and video screens for radar and craft identificatio

Gruber's obviously kidding about Apple's wearable device. He doesn't know if that's true or false, but his jibe against the Moto 360 sounds better if he talks about Apple's announcement as a fact instead of a hypoth

For $6 you can get a Mac-compatible version from GOG.com. The Windows version on GOG.com is just the DOS version running inside DOSBox, and I'd be surprised if the Mac version isn't too. That's the irony of the Mac processor

The article does mention policies of other cities in the Bay Area. For instance: "Although cities in the Valley, such as Google’s home of Mountain View, have been eager to approve the construction of new office space, they’ve refused t

The second half is just wrong. There's no such thing as unused balance on an iTunes card. When you redeem a card, the entire balance is credited to your account. The credit will only go unused if you stop using the iTunes store, so tha

There's two different kinds of fallthrough in C++. The most common is using the same code for multiple values. Rust already supports this by allowing multiple values and ranges of values for each pattern. The much more rare use of fall

The 1978 edition of BASIC Computer Games did have permission from Paramount to use the Star Trek trademarks, but this probably doesn't apply to ports. http://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/showpage.php?page=15...

You know what's also cheaper than an 8-bit in the 80s? Full computers today. The cheapest Windows machines, desktop or laptop, are about $300–400, from Dell, for example. In 1984, a Commodore 64 was about $200, or $450 if you include o

> I haven't seen the movie. Is that message typed out on the screen, complete with teletype noises? That has to be one of the weirdest anachronisms ever adopted as a trope. Lots of video games do that for dialog if it's just pr

If I don't recognize the number and they didn't leave a message, I won't call them back. It's probably just a telemarketer or someone else I don't want to talk to.

What do you mean exactly? Was there ever a time when Apple encouraged people to make unlicensed clones of their machines?

Could you explain what you mean? What about the older systems do you prefer? Command shells, modes, on-screen text menus, key combinations, text-only or low-resolution displays? But I'd really like to know why you think that it'd

The first sentence: "A real function is said to be periodic if there exists a real number P > 0 so that f(x+P) = f(x) for all x." Complex numbers aren't mentioned at all.
